The Construction Shop (also known as 'Construction Material Shop', or colloquially, among construction workers, 'The Shop') is a factory compound assembling a wide assortment of materials essential to construction of vessels and stationary installations. It features a considerable number of different manufacturing lines, hence it requires a complex and well-orchestrated supply chain. While most individual production lines can run fully automated, the operation of the compound as a whole is run by a crew of up to a hundred or more engineers and construction workers.

The Cell Recharge Facility provides limited docking facilities for the automated transfer of depleted fuel cells and charged cells from and into vessels. Usually, Cell Recharge Facs are outfitted with their own processing lines so allowing them to either re-purpose depleted cells or to produce new ones. Cell Recharge Facs can be run with just a core crew; however full automation is rarely desirable as vessels docking for fuel cell transfer often require manual adaptation of their docking protocols.
